Five hundred Bolivian health workers are marching hundreds of kilometres from the town of Oruro to the capital La Paz in protest at work pay and conditions.
It is latest in a series of demonstrations held against the government of GeneralHugo Banzer.
The protestors expect to arrive in the capital on Monday where, if their demands are not met, they are threatening to go on hunger strike.
Bolivian President Hugo Banzer's government is under attack once again, this time from the country's medical support staff.
Around seven-hundred workers are undertaking a 270 (k) kilometre walk from the town of Oruru to the capital La Paz in a demonstration over pay and working conditions.
The government has offered the workers a pay increase of six per cent, but union representatives are holding out for over seven.
They are also angry at not receiving bonuses for weekend and holiday work.
SOUNDBITE: (Spanish)
"With this march we are demonstrating that we are prepared to make sacrifices to stand up for our workers rights. It is well known that that we work on Sundays holidays and through the nights and that nobody applies the employment laws to us"
SUPERCAPTION: 'Peniagua' leader for health workers
Many of the nurses, cleaners, ambulance men and support staff are also angry at having to work in their own clothes.
Organisers of the march are threatening hunger strike if their demands are not met.
This is the latest in a series of strikes and demonstrations held this year against the government of former dictator Banzer, who was elected in 1997.
Last month, a general strike was called by public sector unions but violence erupted around the country as police clashed with demonstrators.
Settlements have since been made with teachers unions.
Apart from the medical support staff, the only other section still in confrontation are the 'cocaleros' (coca leaf farmers).
Waiting lists at hospitals are likely to increase as the strike continues.
The marchers are expecting to reach La Paz on Monday.

Eritrean anti-aircraft guns shot down two Ethiopian military aircraft that bombed an Eritrean air force base on Friday.
The attack came a day after Ethiopia's premier agreed to a peace proposal for their disputed border.
No details were immediately available on casualties.
Also on Friday, chartered aircraft were to evacuate hundreds of foreign nationals, including at least 200Americans from the Eritrean capital, Asmara.
Eritrean forces fire round after round of mortar attacks.
These pictures -- from the 3 and 4 June -- were shot on the Eritrean side of the border near the town of Serha.
The action has now reportedly moved to the border town of ZalaAmbassa, a town inside Ethiopia which is currently held by Eritrean forces.
On Friday, there were reports of fighting around Zala Ambassa for the third day running.
There were also further tit-for-tat attacks.
Eritrean anti-aircraft guns reportedly shot down two Ethiopian military aircraft after they had bombed an Eritrean air force base in Asmara.
In response, the Ethiopian government said the airbase bombing was in retaliation for an Eritrean air attack on Mekele -- a town 200 kilometres (125 miles) north of Addis.
At least five Ethiopians were wounded in that attack.
The attacks came a day after Ethiopian Prime MinisterMeles Zenawi agreed, in principle, to a joint U-S Rwanda proposal to end the dispute.
However, he also warned that his country's patience was wearing thin with Eritrea's refusal to withdraw from territory he claims it occupied a month ago.
The disputed territory is some 100 miles (160 km) from the Eritrean capital, Asmara.
Eritrea -- which gained its independence from Ethiopia in 1993 -- has insisted that it is not occupying any Ethiopian territory.
It claims its troops are on Eritrean land as determined by colonial
boundaries traced by Italy when it occupied Eritrea in 1885.
The dispute has already claimed an unknown number of lives.
These pictures from Zala Ambassa show Ethiopian soldiers lying where they fell.
A-P-T-V also saw Eritrean forces arrest an Ethiopian soldier who had been hiding out in this bunker for 24 hours.
There has also been intensive fighting in Serha -- bullet holes and shell holes riddle the houses.
Many families have abandoned their shelled homes -- preferring to head away from the border.
The wounded in another town under attack, Senase, which lies 10 kilometres inside Eritrea from the Ethiopian border, are being brought to this makeshift hospital.
The facilities here are basic. Operations are done where patients lie.
The Eritrean government has characterised the U-S-Rwanda proposal as "not controversial" but said there were still serious issues to be worked out.
So, for now, the fighting looks set to continue.

Evo Morales is the first indigenous president of Bolivia, even though almost two-thirds of the country's population are indigenous. Upon entering the office, he enacted several new laws affecting the indigenous population.
Emily Alpert reported from Bolivia on a 2011 grant from the International Reporting Project. Here, she explains how Bolivia's education reforms are an effort to remake the divided country.
"Education reform in Bolivia is totally different than what we think of as education reform, certainly in the United States," Alpert explains.
The new laws will require students to learn an indigenous language, in addition to Spanish and English.
"I wanted to look at this huge, almost utopian project," she says, particularly "how it's actually working and what some of the obstacles might be."

Eritrean anti-aircraft guns shot down two Ethiopian military aircraft that bombed an Eritrean air force base on Friday.
The attack came a day after Ethiopia's premier agreed to a peace proposal for their disputed border.
No details were immediately available on casualties.
Also on Friday, chartered aircraft were to evacuate hundreds of foreign nationals, including at least 200Americans from the Eritrean capital, Asmara.
Eritrean forces fire round after round of mortar attacks.
These pictures -- from the 3 and 4 June -- were shot on the Eritrean side of the border near the town of Serha.
The action has now reportedly moved to the border town of ZalaAmbassa, a town inside Ethiopia which is currently held by Eritrean forces.
On Friday, there were reports of fighting around Zala Ambassa for the third day running.
There were also further tit-for-tat attacks.
Eritrean anti-aircraft guns reportedly shot down two Ethiopian military aircraft after they had bombed an Eritrean air force base in Asmara.
In response, the Ethiopian government said the airbase bombing was in retaliation for an Eritrean air attack on Mekele -- a town 200 kilometres (125 miles) north of Addis.
At least five Ethiopians were wounded in that attack.
The attacks came a day after Ethiopian Prime MinisterMeles Zenawi agreed, in principle, to a joint U-S Rwanda proposal to end the dispute.
However, he also warned that his country's patience was wearing thin with Eritrea's refusal to withdraw from territory he claims it occupied a month ago.
The disputed territory is some 100 miles (160 km) from the Eritrean capital, Asmara.
Eritrea -- which gained its independence from Ethiopia in 1993 -- has insisted that it is not occupying any Ethiopian territory.
It claims its troops are on Eritrean land as determined by colonial
boundaries traced by Italy when it occupied Eritrea in 1885.
The dispute has already claimed an unknown number of lives.
These pictures from Zala Ambassa show Ethiopian soldiers lying where they fell.
A-P-T-V also saw Eritrean forces arrest an Ethiopian soldier who had been hiding out in this bunker for 24 hours.
There has also been intensive fighting in Serha -- bullet holes and shell holes riddle the houses.
Many families have abandoned their shelled homes -- preferring to head away from the border.
The wounded in another town under attack, Senase, which lies 10 kilometres inside Eritrea from the Ethiopian border, are being brought to this makeshift hospital.
The facilities here are basic. Operations are done where patients lie.
The Eritrean government has characterised the U-S-Rwanda proposal as "not controversial" but said there were still serious issues to be worked out.
So, for now, the fighting looks set to continue.

Evo Morales is the first indigenous president of Bolivia, even though almost two-thirds of the country's population are indigenous. Upon entering the office, he enacted several new laws affecting the indigenous population.
Emily Alpert reported from Bolivia on a 2011 grant from the International Reporting Project. Here, she explains how Bolivia's education reforms are an effort to remake the divided country.
"Education reform in Bolivia is totally different than what we think of as education reform, certainly in the United States," Alpert explains.
The new laws will require students to learn an indigenous language, in addition to Spanish and English.
"I wanted to look at this huge, almost utopian project," she says, particularly "how it's actually working and what some of the obstacles might be."

Bolivia, a landlocked South American country, holds the promise of discovery for adventurous souls. While pretty Sucre, “La Ciudad Blanca,” is Bolivia’s judicial capital, La Paz is its political capital and also its main tourist hub.
On the Mirador at Laikacota, you get a feel for how incredibly high up in the Andes this city sits. Deep in the valley below lies the central Plaza Murillo, home to the most precious buildings: the Presidential Palace, National Congress and Metropolitan Cathedral. Most visitors stay near the Plaza San Francisco, because of its proximity to hidden gems, such as the curious Witches’ Market, the Musical Instrument Museum and the Coca Museum.
Around La Paz, you can ride down “El Camino de la Muerte," hike through the lunar landscape of Valle de la Luna and great the alpacas that road around the TiwanakuCultural HeritageSite.
Bolivia is a diamond in the rough. It’s relatively poor and undeveloped, but its extremely authentic, colorful and cultural. Bolivia’s riches shine through in the country’s high altiplanos, its floating reed islands on Lake Titicaca, the silver mines of Potosi, the infinite salt flats of the Salar de Uyuni and the untamed tropical lowlands in the vast Amazon basin.

BOLIVIA: HEALTH WORKERS PROTEST AGAINST PAY & CONDITIONS

Spanish/Nat
Five hundred Bolivian health workers are marching hundreds of kilometres from the town of Oruro to the capital La Paz in protest at work pay and conditions.
It is latest in a series of demonstrations held against the government of GeneralHugo Banzer.
The protestors expect to arrive in the capital on Monday where, if their demands are not met, they are threatening to go on hunger strike.
Bolivian President Hugo Banzer's government is under attack once again, this time from the country's medical support staff.
Around seven-hundred workers are undertaking a 270 (k) kilometre walk from the town of Oruru to the capital La Paz in a demonstration over pay and working conditions.
The government has offered the workers a pay increase of six per cent, but union representatives are holding out for over seven.
They are also angry at not receiving bonuses for weekend and holiday work.
SOUNDBITE: (Spanish)
"With this march we are demonstrating that we are prepared to make sacrifices to stand up for our workers rights. It is well known that that we work on Sundays holidays and through the nights and that nobody applies the employment laws to us"
SUPERCAPTION: 'Peniagua' leader for health workers
Many of the nurses, cleaners, ambulance men and support staff are also angry at having to work in their own clothes.
Organisers of the march are threatening hunger strike if their demands are not met.
This is the latest in a series of strikes and demonstrations held this year against the government of former dictator Banzer, who was elected in 1997.
Last month, a general strike was called by public sector unions but violence erupted around the country as police clashed with demonstrators.
Settlements have since been made with teachers unions.
Apart from the medical support staff, the only other section still in confrontation are the 'cocaleros' (coca leaf farmers).
Waiting lists at hospitals are likely to increase as the strike continues.
The marchers are expecting to reach La Paz on Monday.
